This is my first ever wine tasting.

I chose Blossom Hill California Merlot 2007.

My nose seemed to be pretty good, first of all I could smell vanilla, then after a while with the bottle opened for a while I could also got a hint of red cherry.

My palate however didn’t fare so well, it totally overwhelmed my “virgin” palate.

It’s only until the last few minutes that I could taste red cherry on my front palate.

Nice wine overall.

I definitely need some pointers on how to develop my palate further.
